F. . F. Brooklyn Nets. CARIS LEVERT

Look, there’s nothing wrong with displaying pride for your alma mater, but this was just too much. Ironically, Caris LeVert looked more like Wolverine the X-Man than a representative of the University of Michigan. That would be a compliment if Wolverine’s iconic costume didn’t look like a banana made of spandex.

Honestly, his suit was so ugly, that it really doesn’t even deserve the dignity of being graded an “F.” That’s a “G,” or a “Z.” Maybe even a “2,” because it was THAT ridiculous. However, one positive about his erroneous love letter to U of M was that the colors almost sort of resembled the primary colors of the Indiana Pacers, his new team. In fact, the jacket looked a lot like the Pacers’ old uniforms from the Clark Kellogg/early Reggie Miller days.

That doesn’t necessarily forgive LeVert’s fashion sin, but sometimes it’s goot to look at the bright side of such massive blunders.
